Economies, globally are booming and employment options for accounting and finance professionals are plentiful. Given this scenario, there are a number of people who would like to pursue advanced education programs in accounting and finance, and EarnMyDegree is one of the best places to start.

The online accounting and finance degree program page of EarnMyDegree provides in-depth information about the different areas in which a prospective student can sign up for a program in the areas of accounting and finance.

At first glance, this page almost seems to provide information overkill for a prospective student. However, a closer look gives a completely different picture – it actually provides in-depth information about the various areas in which a student can pursue a degree program in finance and accounting. Not just that, it also gives information about the programs that different select universities are offering in these areas. Not one or two universities, but 39 of them. This is a guaranteed winner for all prospective students surfing the site. All you need to do is get on this page, and you have access to the offerings of 39 universities! At the same time, there are a couple of areas where the website can improve. The Featured Programs section, for instance, while being a great option for students who are looking for in-demand programs, would work better if the number of universities featured was more.

Besides being a repository of information, the page is also easy to access and navigate. There are no hidden links or complex navigation mechanisms. Category and subcategory names are placed in a clear and mutually exclusive manner. Clutter-free browsing is ensured and at no point does the user feel threatened by the overall design of the website. However, the menus do not immediately expose or describe their subcategories; it would have been easier if there were drop-downs so users immediately got to know what each of the links contained as sub-links. However, the items are classified logically and the task flow is efficient. The hyperlinks are clear and informative and keyword searches throw up comprehensive and precise results.

The language is easy to understand, and does not have too much of jargon. One would not feel intimidated by it when he stops by to check the information. However, it needs to be spruced up a bit, especially as the target audience is a global audience of students.

In retrospect, the look and feel of the site is excellent. It gives a user all the information he/she might be looking for in a manner that is easy on the eye and the mind. More than the superficial look and feel, it is the ease with which users can go to different areas of interest that places this site apart from its peers. The site is able to provide clear feedback in response to user actions; however, pages do not provide location cues.

Overall, the site performs well, and anyone who wants to pursue an advanced degree in accounting and finance can use the site to meet their objective.
